PART OF OUR FAMILY
Our Partners
A number of our activities are made possible through the support of local businesses. Partnerships are key to our capacity to promote change. Amongst other things, partnership can lead to:
-
greater impact of our work: through partners we can mobilize more resources, influence different sectors of public opinion, increase our reach, and work with new networks and groups (our partners’ partners);
-
stronger organisations: building and strengthening organisations through solid relationships, trust and good communication;
-
increased legitimacy: more use of local knowledge, projects appropriate to the context, including a diversity of voices, and a greater local ownership of work;
-
greater effectiveness: partnerships provide opportunities to learn from each other and improve the way we work;
-
more negotiating power with donors, local government and powerful stakeholders;
-
greater participation of people living in poverty
